We have the same set-up on our Albin 34, Lewmar 1000 and a Rocna 20kg. However, we do not have a swivel, just a shackle connecting the chain and anchor. The Lewmar is 15 years old now and performs flawlessly. There is a big clunk as it turns the anchor into position shaft to come aboard...

Thank you for the replies. We did remove it and it came out a lot easier than we thought it would. We'd have to have a Ronca tank custom made as they don't come in the size configuration that we need. A new Todd is on the way now and in the meantime I have access to paint the bilge area under...

One of our FW tanks is a Todd 35 gallon and is located under our bed. It just fits and is leaking (probably original - 1986 Albin 34). I believe the last time we had a tank replaced, we had to locate the fixtures accurately. Researching them now, it looks like the come pre-installed with red...

We have a 1986 Albin 34 trawler with the Cummins 210, running at 2000 rpms we burn approx 3.5 - 4 mph and travel at 9 - 10 kts. What model do you have and where are you located? We have a full flybridge and she is Hull #3, located in Red Brook Harbor, Cape Cod. We've had Paumanok for 15...

Ha! I think the JP may have a re-naming ceremony! Marcy

Hi Bruce, Ours was placed on a raised built-in area where the former Jabsco toilet was located, there is a molded step in front of it, so we have no issues. Marcy

We have had a DryFlush by Laveo for over 9 Years after discovering them at the Newport Boat Show. Our forward head on our Albin 34 had a long run to the holding tank (in fact it was slightly uphill) and we were looking for an alternative system for that head. This head doesn't receive daily use...

Captain Pontoon, I will measure our sofa the next time we're on the boat. I have to figure out how to download pictures for you too. I have some of the saloon and also of the many modifications we've made over the years including solar, removal of the cushion at the back of the bed in the aft...

All good advice above. Cannot emphasize enough the importance of going through at a favorable tide (starting at slack is best). The RR Bridge is lowered sometimes as you are in transit and you'll have to wait for it, which can be challenging if the current is full force. Morning is always...

We went through the Blynman Canal this past summer on our way north from Gloucester. We walked over to observe the bascule bridge at the entrance to the Annisquam River. It was wild that day with swift current and a lot of turbulence from the boats powering through the narrow passage. We read...

Hello Drummer, We have a 1986 Albin 34 double cabin trawler (Hull #3). The boat you're looking at has some modifications from ours. It has an extended swim platform, looks like an improvement. Our biminionly goes over the forward part of the upper helm, you goes all the way back - nice. Our...

Hello all, My husband and I are planning a trip north from Redbrook Harbor in Cataumet on Cape Cod to Gloucester and north in July. I know that "Twisted Tree" and "Benthic2" (love the name, we both worked in Benthic labs on Lake Ontario) both hail from that area. We would appreciate any...

We have the Cummins 6BT 5.9 210hp (turbo) engine with 2100 hr on it. We've been satisfied with its reliability over the last 11 years. We have a Group 31 for starting it and it catches with one crank, every time. That'll you'll need Marcy Albin 34

Check out the Albin 27, you have a lot of living space in three cabins. A dinghy on Weaver davits will not put it over 29'11".

Albin 34 Review Hello, We have owned a 1986 Albin 34 (hull # 3) for 11 years and love it! Paumanok has a full flybridge with bench seating along the sides. She is unusual in that the saloon has a soft enclosure with strata glass. There are pictures of her on the Albin Owners Group which is...
